Chapter 537 Old Deng, I'm Yellow Hair! (Seeking monthly votes)

'It must be... because of Mr. Strength, right?'

Klein recalled his experiences over the past two months and seemed to have found the reason why the 'Clown' potion was being digested so quickly.

Isn't it just like being a clown to pretend to be Mr. Fool and impersonate a mysterious big shot in front of this 'fellow Earthling'?

Thinking about this, Klein felt ashamed, like he had his private diary seen during puberty.

However, this feeling of shame quickly turned into surprise!

'fragrant!'

It smells so good!

Klein swung his fists and feet in the alchemy room, the force beyond his imagination tearing through the air with a series of crackling sounds.

He also possesses extraordinary control over his body, almost precognitive intuition, and the ability to conjure soldiers from paper.

Because the potion was almost completely digested, Klein essentially leaped from the early stage of Sequence 8 to the peak of the late stage in one step.

What happened to the clown?
Zhou Ruiming just loves playing the clown!
"So the core rule of the 'Joker' potion is to be the Joker yourself?"

Klein nodded thoughtfully; this wasn't difficult for him.

"If Captain Dunn and the others knew that I had digested the 'Clown' potion so quickly, they'd probably be quite shocked, wouldn't they?"

Klein couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he soon began to have a headache, wondering how to explain this unusually fast digestion.

"It took me almost two months to digest the Sequence 9 'Sequence Seer' potion, but only two weeks for the 'Clown' potion."

Klein rubbed his temples, caught in a blissful dilemma.

"Dang~dang~dang~"

From the basement of a house on Elton Street came the clanging sound of blacksmithing.

Mu Sheng stood shirtless in front of the furnace, holding a large iron hammer as long as an adult's arm, swinging it back and forth.

"When-when-"

With each strike of the hammer, clusters of sparks radiating red light were ejected.

A dozen minutes later, Mu Sheng stopped hammering and reached for the now drastically altered high-pressure steam rifle.

"That should be about right."

Mu Sheng glanced at the steel gun barrel, which was scorched red by the spiritual flames, and simply reached out and picked it up.

"Zi~~"

A large amount of white mist emerged from Mu Sheng's palm; it was sweat that had been evaporated into gas by the high temperature of the gun.

"There are no problems with the mechanical structure, so it can be quenched."

After carefully inspecting it, Mu Sheng had a thought and summoned a stream of clear water to envelop the scorching red gun barrel.

"呲呲呲~"

After a hissing sound of liquid vaporizing, the high-pressure steam rifle cooled down completely.

The fiery red that represented flames has been replaced by a cool, steely gray.

"Crack! Click!"

Mu Sheng skillfully inspected the rifle's magazine, bolt carrier, barrel, trigger, and other components.

After confirming that everything was up to standard, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Compared to the original high-pressure steam rifle, the one in his hand has removed the mechanical case used to provide steam power.

The steam pipes connecting the mechanical case and the gun body, as well as the structural components at the interface, were also removed.

Overall, it is more similar to the Chiang Kai-shek rifle from World War II.

The stock was simply wider and thicker, and it was modified by Musheng into a steam chamber to power the rifle bullets.

"Perfect!"

Mu Sheng picked up the steam-powered version of the Chiang Kai-shek rifle and assumed a firing stance.

"Use the remaining materials to forge a few more steam pistols, and then go out into the wild to test them out!"

Mu Sheng put down his rifle with a look of delight and picked up the mechanical case that had been disassembled earlier to store high-pressure steam.

It was placed on the furnace and a new round of forging began!
Under the extremely high temperature of the spiritual flame, the grayish-white mechanical case quickly melted.

Mu Sheng immediately picked up a large iron sledgehammer and began to hammer and strike it repeatedly.

"Dang~dang~dang~"

Under the 'forger's' extraordinary abilities, the mechanical case gradually deformed and split into a pile of iron blocks of varying sizes.

Mu Sheng continued to hammer the iron blocks, shaping them into individual pistol parts.

The 'Blacksmith' ability is still weak now, but it will be available when Mu Sheng advances to a higher level of extraordinary ability.

Let alone forging pistols and rifles with a hammer, it's not impossible to forge airships and warships with a hammer.

Don't ask what the principle is; it's just the result of my thinking!
Twenty minutes later.

Seven steam pistols suddenly appeared in front of Mu Sheng.

"We have the guns, now let's get some bullets too."

He then forged a bunch of pointed bullets from ordinary iron, and then took the forged steam rifle and steam pistol with him.

His figure blurred and disappeared from the basement.

After a few seconds.

Musheng appeared in the countryside, several dozen kilometers away from Backlund.

There are no tall trees here, only low shrubs and tenacious weeds.

"With clear skies and gentle breezes, it's a great place to test your gun."

Mu Sheng nodded in satisfaction. After setting up the targets at different distances, he prepared to start testing the gun.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Puff puff! Puff puff puff!"

First came the rifle, then the pistol; the spirituality, under the 'Giant Bishop's' extraordinary abilities, was transformed into high-pressure steam.

Soon, a burst of gunfire rang out in the countryside.

The rifle's steam chamber is larger and the pressure is higher, making the sound of the gunshot more similar to the explosion of gunpowder.

The pistol has a smaller vapor chamber and a shorter barrel, and the sound is more like the whooshing sound of airflow coming out of a pipe.

Half an hour later, the gunfire in the countryside gradually stopped.

"Cool!"

Mu Sheng put away the rifle and pistol, whose mechanical parts were somewhat damaged, and shouted with a refreshed expression.

He had only two hobbies in his life: playing with guns and playing with guns.

After testing the gun, Mu Sheng began to sort out the problems encountered during the use of the firearm.

"The rifle only needs minor modifications, but the steam pistol is a bit too weak."

Insufficient air pressure and a short barrel resulted in the steam pistol being less powerful than a revolver.

"The barrel can't be lengthened; if it's too long, it'll become a rifle."

"As for air pressure..."

After thinking it over, Mu Sheng decided that he either needed to enlarge and thicken the steam chamber, or he needed to replace it with a stronger material.

The former is too ugly, and the latter has no material.

"Never mind, let's deal with this later."

Mu Sheng never dwells on problems that he cannot solve immediately; he simply packs his things and prepares to go back.

He had a great time with the steam gun, but he hadn't fired the other gun for a while.

"What reason should we give to invite Miss 'Justice' out?"

Mu Sheng pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at the steam pistol in his hand.

"This thing must be unique in the Kingdom of Rune, right?"

Not to mention the Kingdom of Rune, in the entire Northern Continent, and even in the mysterious world, the steam pistol is currently unique.

With that thought, Mu Sheng immediately had an idea. "It's decided then, let's invite Miss 'Justice' out for a shooter's game!"

With a blurry and illusory figure, Mu Sheng vanished into the countryside in a flash.

Backlund, Queens.

In the Hall family mansion, Audrey Hall sat on the railing of the benches on either side of the courtyard corridor, leaning against a pillar.

Holding an adventure biography in my hands, I read it quietly.

Her legs were bent on a wooden stool, and her light white dress hung down on both sides, shimmering with a white halo in the sunlight.

Her long golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her emerald green eyes were lowered, but her gaze was not on the pages of the book; it was as if it had drifted off somewhere else.

Suddenly, Audrey seemed to think of something happy, and a joyful smile appeared on her lips.

"Ga~ga~"

A loud cawing came from the sky, followed by the sound of flapping wings.

"It's Blank!"

A delighted smile bloomed on Audrey's face. She casually tossed aside the book in her hand, lifted her skirt, and hurried into the courtyard.

A black shadow descended from the sky and gently landed on Audrey's shoulder.

"Gah~"

Little Black nuzzled against Audrey's cheek, rubbing its little head against hers repeatedly.

"Hahaha, it itches so much, Blank, is it a letter from Mr. 'Strength'?"

Audrey smiled and patted Xiao Hei's head, then eagerly opened the bamboo tube hanging on Xiao Hei's chest.

Upon seeing the note inside the bamboo tube, a gleam immediately flashed in her eyes.

"Blanc, go play with Susie first. I'll prepare something delicious for you after I finish reading the letter!"

After receiving the note, Audrey abandoned the book and ran back to her room, lifting her skirt as she went.

In the lobby on the first floor, Count Hall, wearing a dark brown vest, sat on the sofa.

He looked at his daughter with a surprised expression, the most dazzling jewel of Backlund, the little princess of the Hall family.

They rushed past him.

"Oh, Audrey, my little princess, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Earl Hall's question, Audrey finally noticed her father's presence.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Never mind, it's not important. It's about to rain, and I'm in a hurry to bring in the laundry. I'll chat with you later."

Audrey didn't stop running; she ran up the stairs and disappeared from Earl Hall's sight without looking back.

"Rainy? Bring in the laundry?"

Earl Hall's eyes were full of confusion. When did the Hall family's little princess start having to collect her own clothes?

"Wait a moment!"

"What do you mean 'never mind,' or 'it's not important'? Does that mean I'm not important anymore?"

Earl Hall was immediately displeased.

A few minutes later, as Audrey skipped down the stairs with a joyful expression, she saw Earl Hall looking sad.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Audrey, somewhat curious, went up and sat next to her father, putting her arm around his and asking him a question.

"Because I'm not important anymore!"

Earl Hall turned to look at his little princess, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness.

"Not important? How could you not be important?" Audrey asked in surprise, "You are from the Kingdom of Rune."

As the words were about to come out, Audrey suddenly remembered something.

Could it be... because of something she just said casually?

Audrey glanced guiltily at the expression on her father's face, at that resentful look, it seemed it really was because of her.

"Dad, how could you not be important? You are the most important person in my heart."

Audrey knew exactly how to manipulate Earl Hall; she shook his arm and started to act coquettishly.

Sure enough, Count Hall, who had just looked resentful, soon couldn't stop smiling.

Just as Audrey was comforting her father, Little Black, who had eaten and drunk his fill in her room, flapped his wings and flew out the window.

The dark feather streaked across the sky before disappearing into a cloud of mist.

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

After having breakfast with her family, Audrey excused herself and went back to her room, saying she wasn't feeling well.

At the bedroom door, Audrey solemnly instructed the golden retriever:

"Susie, I have something very important to do right now. You stay at the door and don't let anyone in, understand?"

Susie, the golden retriever, tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

it?
A dog?

Are they stopping people from coming in?
Are you serious?

As an 'audience member,' Audrey could easily see what Susie meant, but she chose to ignore it.

"Alright, then I'll leave this place to you, Susie!"

"Audrey said playfully, then turned and went into the bedroom, closing the door behind her."

In the bedroom, Audrey glanced at the gilded enamel pocket watch and straightened her clothes once more.

She wore a light yellow, lightweight long dress, a light green women's vest, and a pair of calfskin boots.

All of them are clothes that allow for easy movement!
"Isn't it almost time?"

Audrey looked out the window but did not see the figure she was hoping for.

"What are you looking at?"

A familiar, clear male voice sounded from behind.

'He's here!'

Audrey turned around quickly and landed right on Mu Sheng, who was standing behind her.

Mu Sheng reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"My beautiful princess, you've practically delivered yourself to my doorstep, so this evil dragon won't stand on ceremony."

Mu Sheng deliberately feigned a fierce appearance and opened his mouth to let out a dragon's roar:
"Ouch~"

Audrey was amused by his appearance. She squinted her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Mu Sheng with a captivating light in her eyes.

"Lord Evil Dragon, please don't eat me! My father is very rich, and he will give you lots and lots of gold coins and jewels."

"No! No amount of gold coins and jewels could compare to the value of you, the most dazzling jewel in Backlund."

"Come with me back to the dragon's lair!"

Mu Sheng revealed a wicked smile, one hand around Audrey's waist and the other stroking her back.

With a spin, a blurry light and shadow flashed by, and the two figures disappeared into the bedroom.

In the countryside of Backlund, there is a magnificent and dazzling sea of ​​flowers.

Mu Sheng and Audrey appeared out of thin air.

"Is this the gift you prepared for me?"

Audrey looked at the endless sea of ​​flowers all around her, her eyes filled with amazement.

Although the types of flowers here are quite common, the sheer quantity makes up for all the shortcomings.

"Here? No!"

Mu Sheng shook his head: "This is just a scenic spot I stumbled upon, and I brought you here to take a look."

"The real gift is here..."

As he spoke, Mu Sheng reached into his pants and pulled out a gun in front of Audrey.
